How long does a typical after-school graffiti session last?

Our after-school workshops in Mekelle are designed for flexibility. A standard session usually lasts about 2 hours. This provides enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, practicing basic techniques on cardboard or practice walls, and then completing a final collaborative masterpiece. We can adjust the duration based on your school's schedule or specific program needs, ensuring everyone has enough time to finish their artwork.

Is it safe for children and teenagers to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every participant to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our professional artists use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and produce less fumes. Additionally, we always ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated. Every student receives a thorough safety briefing before they even touch a spray can.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely no experience is necessary! Our workshops are designed to take students from absolute beginners to creating something they are proud of in just one session. Our artist mentors are experts at breaking down complex styles into easy-to-follow steps. Whether a student is a natural artist or has never held a paintbrush, they will find success and have a blast during our workshop.

Where in Mekelle do these workshops take place?

We bring the party to you! We typically conduct workshops on school grounds, using outdoor spaces, sports courts, or large ventilated halls. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, just let us know. We have experience finding creative local spots around Mekelle that work perfectly for a street art session. We handle all the setup and cleanup, leaving the site exactly as we found it.

What materials do we need to provide?

Graffitifun provides everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a wide variety of vibrant colors, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface to paint on (whether it's large canvases or a temporary wall setup). The only thing students need to bring is their enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We recommend a minimum group of 10 students for a great atmosphere, but we can accommodate very large groups by bringing in multiple professional artists. This ensures every student gets individual attention and mentorship. For very large after-school programs or multiple classes, we can run concurrent sessions or rotate groups. Just reach out, and we will build a rotation plan that fits your student body size perfectly.

How do we book a session and what is the payment process?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can start by using our online Cost Calculator for an estimate, then contact us to lock in a date. We don't require upfront payments—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This gives schools and parents peace of mind. If you need to reschedule, our team is flexible and will work with you to find a new time slot that works.

We love bringing street art here because the local youth have such a unique perspective to share. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the beautiful Ethiopian patterns and the bold colors found in local markets. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the TPLF monument's architecture in Mekelle provides some of the most dramatic backdrops for photography? While we strictly paint on our provided surfaces, the city's focus on monumental art makes it the perfect place for students to learn about the power of visual communication!
